That’s beautiful.
We always think we ‘know’ famous people. Most of the time we know very little at all about them.

Thanks. That was a lovely piece just like you said.
Once, fed up with a certain passage when he believed God was being harsh, he slammed the book shut and said “Ach, get me a better story.” Yet he would also say over and over that the stories in the Bible were the wisest in the world, and if he were young, he would start making movies of them, beginning with King David. He knew his life was possible only in America.

No, I didn’t read it all. Did a man who was a great “pretender”, ever condemn abortion, sexual misconduct of all kinds, voting for democrats, etc.?
Movie ticket sales made him a rich man on earth. That has nothing to do with the kingdom of heaven. That’s the big picture.

Wonderful story about a really great and colorful character, even if it was in the Slimes. Thanks for posting it.
